HG and NVP thread

[kanga86]

Evening ladies, thank you for asking after me I am doing so much better ref the sickness since being back on the ondansetron tablets rather than the melts, really don't think they agreed with me at all. But this week has been tough in other ways. First on Tuesday we had a 5 hour trip in the car up to my dad's house, then wednesday included 2hrs in the car plus my nan's funeral it was a rough day and it was so heartbreaking seeing my dad so upset. Think the only other time I have seen him cry is when my mum passed away nearly 10 years ago. So there was a lot of memories brought up plus I visited my mum's grave. Today we made the journey back home and got in about 8pm. I am exhausted, feeling sicky and just the week is nearly done with. Thankfully harry has been a superstar with all the car journeys and at the funeral. Just off to put him to bed now as a late nap in the car has meant I have a wide awake little boy.

I will try to catch up properly with the posts tomorrow, but I hope on the whole everyone is doing well. xx

Hey kanga! So glad ur feeling a bit better? Sorry to hear u have had a tough week. Hopefully u have a quiet weekend planned? Xx

 

[kanga86]

Thank you keeptrying. Yeah definitely feeling better than the end of last week. Just hoping I keep getting better now, going to try to return to work next weekend! Which will be interesting, as I work nights at a petrol station. Got a day at home tomorrow sorting out the clothes washing from being away and maybe some time in the garden if it's sunny again. Not much planned for the weekend lazy times in the sun hopefully. Then I have my 12 (+6) week scan on Tuesday to look forward too.

Do you have anything planned for the weekend? xx

Hi girls. Hope we are all ok. I really fancy some chips from the chip shop (think its the salt) Feeling a bit more with it so hoping the tablets are kicking in. Turns out my friend who was making snide comments is pregnant. she just sent me a picture of a test asking if it was positive. Lets hope she doesn't get this and know how much it really gets you down. I am going to speak to work on Monday about reducing my shift times when I return to work. Ideally I would like to go back after the sick note finishes but still got a week to decide how I am feeling. I am sure I will have up and down days xx

 

[keeptrying14]

Hey steffy. You would never want to wish it on anyone, but apart of you wants the people that give you the 'it can't be that bad stare' to just experience it for a day! My friend was like that to start with oh it can't be that bad its just morning sickness. She's 8 weeks pregnant and suddenly gone very quiet with her t ail between her legs coz I think she has had it over. The last week!! Eat what u want hun u might as well try. What's the worst that can happen it just comes up again! I had a bad day yesterday was sick and nearly fainted but today has been better. So ots every other day at the moment it gives me a break! Xxx

Hi steffy, sorry to hear you are also suffering and have been in hospital hon. It's a horrendous time but it does get better i was at my worst at your stage but am now feeling so much better at nearly 18 weeks. I'd say I'm ok every other day at the moment but the bad days are nothing like they were before. I can get out and about now and work which is great.

Hope everyone has a good weekend, we are having a quiet one weather looks lively again so hoping to chill in the garden a bit. Xxx

 

[jemfox]

Hiya girlie's, all ok today?

So far I've cleaned out cupboards, bleached sinks and toilet, cleaned oven, disinfected everything and cooked and rice and potato salad because we having friends round for a bbq later!
Also went to Morrisons and got myself some non alcohol cocktails so I still look cool later!

Loving feeling human again and really feel for whoever feeling rough, but I spose I'm living proof that this horrible crap hg does pass!

Xxx

Hahn jemfox soo pleased for u! U def have got into the nesting spirit! I hope the BBQ went well it's been such a lovely day. Hope all you other girls are enjoying the warm too xxx

 

[steffy]

I've been out in the garden with Abi, OH got all her garden toys out and she has a good run around. I sat on a comfy chair and it was so nice to get some air. OH managed to put up some new fence panels around our pond so that's a good job done aswell. anyone else concerned about the lack of goodness they are eating? we usually have 3 meals with veg a week and then salads etc but I can't face anything like it. Am taking pregnacare vitamins xx

 

[Hoping for no2]

Steffy I wouldn't worry about what you are eating hon as long as you can keep it down. Also I stopped taking the pregnancy vitamins until this week as the doctor said these might be making me feel worse as they can make you feel nauseous anyway. I just took colic acid and vitamin d in advice of the midwife - she said these are the only ones that are important. I'm much better with my eating the last few weeks but was living on carbs and hunk food for 10 weeks before that.

You do what you need to do to survive at the moment and can make up for it when you're feeling better.

Glad to hear everyone's been enjoying the good weather! We took our son to a farm this aft it was lively and warm. Planning a day in the garden tomorrow. BBQ sounds like a good idea! Xx

 

[Hoping for no2]

Sorry for all the typos, stupid phone!

 

[kanga86]

Glad you are having such good days now jemfox, hope the BBQ went well.

Steffy, sorry to see you in this group, HG is the worst. Your hospital were good keeping you in for 3 days, mine discharged me at 1:30AM with ketones of 2+ still! I wasn't much impressed, thankfully not needed to go back though, even though I am still suffering on a daily basis.

Hoping for no2 a day at the farm sounds lovely, I've been indoors all day unable to move from the sofa again. Not been sick in a week, but oh my do I still feel like I could puke at any moment

Anyone find that they have worse days of the week? I seem to feel better Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, but then Friday hits and I feel like death all day and all weekend. Also been super grumpy today, and snapping at the smallest of things. Hoping to pop out to the beach for a few hours with Harry tomorrow, so I hope that goes well xx

 

[steffy]

gosh Kanga that is appalling . I'm not sure if they took it more serious as I was unable to provide them with urine sample and my blood results, but even I was surprised it wasn't just a one night stay. they got me in for a scan aswell. shows the difference between nhs trusts which in itself is a disgrace! xxx

 

[Rhea]

Hiya girls! Sorry I hav been of for so long I hav had a terrible time I went I to preterm labour 2 nights ago, I dilated to 3 cm and they hav managed to stop me at 3cm for now with medication, I have been on steroids and everything, my waters haven't broken tho which is a good thing, but it's a waiting game now Know1 knows how long the tablets will reduce the labour for it cud help for a few days or a few weeks but no1 really sees me makin it past 28 weeks am 25 today, I am still recovering from appendicitis I can't belive this feel like it's all my fault Ino every day that she is in ther longer is better for her, she's a gud weight tho for how early I am shes 1lb11oz so am determined to get her to atleast 2lb befor she is born, I am still Havin contractions but ther every half hour now, I am praying I can get to 28 weeks atleast! The neonatal care at this woman's Liverpool is amazing tho and they told me tha the prems they hav had at 24 weeks hav all survived n been much smaller if my baby was to come today it wud be an 80% of survival rate in this hospital n if she was to come in 6 more days wud b 88% so literally her odds go up everyday and I know my princess is strong! I have let her down since day one with HG, appendicitis and now this

Av jst been to upset to come I line and talk sorry girls but I have missed everyone and hope everyone is doing really well!!

 

[Hoping for no2]

Rhea to replied to your other thread hon but just wanted to say again how happy I am to hear from you. Everything crossed you make it to 28 weeks hon, you deserve a break after everything you've been through. And do kit blame yourself for anything. It is not your fault you've had HG or appendicitis, just very bad luck hon. Will be thinking of you xxx

 

[Rhea]

The contractions and that don't seem to be bothering her atall xx

 

[Hoping for no2]

Why have you got to come off the tablets stopping your labour hon? It must be so difficult just waiting to see what's going to happen, I really feel for you hon. Pls remember that you have done everything you possibly could for your little girl smd you've been through an impossible time over the last 20 weeks to get to where you are now. When your daughter is older and knows what you went through to have her I'm sure she'll be very proud of you.

I'm ok thanks, good days and bad days but off the tablets so that is a massive step forward! Are you still taking your anti sickness? How are you feeling generally? Xx

 

[Rhea]

I have been on them for 48 hours already I will go back in them afta a few days, but these tablets r ment to be great for slowing down the labour even jst afta 48 hours in them, thanks Hun I keep tryna tell meself av been thru a lot and done the best I cud to deal wi everythin av been thru, am still on the ondansetron Hun, I have good and bad days aswell HG wise, aww am glad ur of your tablets! Hopefully u have more good than bad days now how far gone r u now Hun? N generally am feelin like crap! Got out of hospital after the appendix and since then I hav felt crap still sore, sick and suddenly badly aneamic! Which is horrible feelin exhausted all the time, and now this but nothing I can do really just let the doctors do ther work and pray for the best xx

[keeptrying14]

Off the subject a bit but what's ur thoughts on anti d injections and deciding not to have them til after the birth? Am I being stupid or do u know people that have done this? Xxx
